Acoustical Streaming in the Vicinity of a Cylinder [PDF]
Apparently contradictory reports in the literature concerning the acoustic streaming around a right-circular cylinder immersed in a viscous, incompressible fluid can be reconciled by reference to a universal curve giving (δDC/a) as a function of (a/δAC), where δDC is the DC boundary-layer thickness, δAC is the AC boundary-layer thickness, and a is the ...

Theoretical and experimental characterizations of gigahertz acoustic streaming in microscale fluids
Even as gigahertz (GHz) acoustic streaming has developed into a multi-functional platform technology for biochemical applications, including ultrafast microfluidic mixing, microparticle operations, and cellar or vesicle surgery, its theoretical ...

Effect of β-PVDF Piezoelectric Transducers’ Positioning on the Acoustic Streaming Flows
This paper reports the numerical and experimental analysis of the acoustic streaming effect in a fluidic domain. The actuation of a piezoelectric transducer generates acoustic waves that propagate to the fluids, generating pressure gradients that induce ...

Characterization of Acoustic Streaming in Gradients of Density and Compressibility [PDF]
Suppression of boundary-driven Rayleigh streaming has recently been demonstrated for fluids of spatial inhomogeneity in density and compressibility owing to the competition between the boundary-layer-induced streaming stress and the inhomogeneity-induced

Different origins of acoustic streaming at resonance [PDF]
Acoustic streaming is a nonlinear phenomenon that plays an essential role in microscale acoustofluidic devices for handling of sub-micrometer particles. However, the streaming patterns observed in experiments can be of complicated and non-intuitive character, and therefore, experiments, and device optimization are often carried out in a trial-and-error

Acoustic Streaming and Its Applications
Broadly speaking, acoustic streaming is generated by a nonlinear acoustic wave with a finite amplitude propagating in a viscid fluid. The fluid volume elements of molecules, d V , are forced to oscillate at the same frequency as the incident ...
